History

4×4 Search and Rescue has been active in King County since 1954. A group of men saw a need to assist others in looking for lost or injured hikers and outdoors enthusiasts that were up logging roads in the mountains or otherwise “away from civilization.” They approached the King County Police with this idea and as a result, 4X4 became a reality.
